Is there an easy / fast way to create a notification for yourself, while testing themes.

I tried:

> PM to myself  
> Mention myself  
> Posting in a topic I’m watching.

But, they don’t create a notification.

So I’m waiting for a notification to appear 😴 😴

Maybe the API could be used, or a second account, but is there an easier way?

Hi Lylyhannah welcome to the forum

I don’t know how this fits in with WordPress, but anyway, the only one I can think of at the moment is the “topic timer, reminder”
